Mike Sandham's research log ("List 1"), imported 16 Sep 2026, credited to The South Africa War Graves Project unless his entry says otherwise: gives Age 27 against this record's 51. This record has no date of birth, so there is nothing to adjudicate with. Flagged, not changed.
Database-wide FirstName/Age contamination sweep (extension), 28 Sep 2026: FirstName 'Josiah' and Age 51 were forward-filled from PersonNumber 41339 down a contiguous run of 2 records -- this record's own LastName ('Tjakuva'), Initials ('T'), ServiceNo ('80880347SWH') and DateDeath ('1981-07-08') are all genuinely distinct, confirming a different real person whose FirstName/Age were simply never captured. Unlike the first pass of this sweep, Unit is NOT touched here -- it is not part of this contamination (see the Unit-restoration correction on the related run) and this record's own Unit ('') is left exactly as found. FirstName and Age CLEARED; no replacement guessed.
